Willard 6-16

I launched my tube out of the south marina and fished several areas out on the east side.  Very slow until about 10:30 and then I limited on walleyes...and threw back a couple more small ones.  Also got one cat and one perch.  Will post a separate report later...with pics and some video.

My assessment is that the series of small storms and the cold front moving through the previous days both affected the fish and dropped the water temp a couple of degrees.  And I believe that the extended spring and cool water will also lengthen the walleye bite.  The shad won't be big enough to feed them for a while yet.

On my side of the lake I couldn't score anything on a variety of cranks...and even bottom bouncers earlier.  Finally found some active fish and caught all of them on crawler rig whirly fligs fished on the bottom under 1 mph.  Never say never...and never say always.

Maybe you found a warmer spot of water in the east end, a little shallower water.  About 11 o'clock I boated over to the feed lot and no one was there. Did see lots of shade balls. Thought I might find you but no.
